Lactic Acid Bacteria as Cell Factories: Synthetic Biology and Metabolic Engineering describes the most recent developments on the metabolic engineering and synthetic biology of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) for production of biologically active biomolecules (enzymes, organic acids, bacteriocins, bioactive peptides, etc.), recombinant proteins, and their role in bioremediation. The book focuses on synthetic biology and metabolic engineering for the production of biologically active molecules such as bioactive peptides, polysaccharides, vitamins (Riboflavin), enzymes, organic acids (lactic and gamma-aminobutyric acid), flavor and aroma compounds, bacteriocins, recombinant proteins, etc.
Individual chapters are devoted to the production of biosurfactants and their applications and the bioremediation of heavy metals by LAB from aquatic environments. Two critical chapters address Genome editing of LAB: opportunities for food, feed and pharmaceuticals and A synthetic biology approach for plasmid DNA and Recombinant protein production. This book will be a valuable resource for those working in biology, biotechnology, biological engineering, chemical engineering, microbiology, food science and technology, genetics and synthetic biology.
- Explores the synthetic biology and metabolic engineering of lactic acid bacteria
- Highlights LAB enzymes such as phytase and amylase applications in food processing and the removal of anti-nutrients from foods and lignocellulose bioconversion
- Presents insights into biosurfactant production and possible applications
- Includes information on bioremediation by LAB, biofilm production mechanism, and plasmid and recombinant protein production using synthetic biology
Researchers in the field of biology, biotechnology, biological engineering, chemical engineering, microbiology, food science and technology, genetics and synthetic biology, graduate, post graduate biology students, and, food industry managers and technocrats and human nutrition specialists. This book is a key reference text for R&D managers in industry interested in the development of functional foods, feeds, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical LAB-based products
